Diabetes:
Get tested for diabetes if you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol or a family history.

Depression:
Emotional health is just as important as your physical health. Talk to your doctor about being screened for depression if you’re feeling ‘down’, sad or hopeless for more than 2 weeks.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases including Chlamydia and HIV:
If you’re sexually active and have had unprotected sex. Talk to your doctor about which tests would be appropriate for your situation.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm:
If you’re between the ages of 65 and 75 and have smoked more than 100 cigarettes in your lifetime.

Prostate Cancer:
This is a decision that should be made between you and your doctor. Some believe, yearly screenings starting at age 40, if there is a family history or if you’re African American. Yearly screenings starting at age 50, if you don’t have either risk factor.

It’s time for you to take a look at yourself in a whole new light. Do it for yourself. Do it for your loved ones. Your primary care physician can help you decide which tests are right for you.
